Veteran journalist Kuldeep Nayar has suggested that the Supreme Court should set up another special investigation team to look into the “biggest fraud since Independence” — diversion of Narmada water to those not part of the original plan.
He, along with former Chief Minister Madhavsinh Solanki and former SSNNL chairman Sanat Mehta, criticised the manner of implementation of the Sardar Sarovar Project (SSP) at a public meeting in Ahmedabad. They were attending a meeting at the Gajjar Hall to mark the 50th year of the project.
The Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) in its latest report has criticised the pace of work of the project. Several eminent persons connected with the project in the past have expressed serious concern over attempts to undermine the importance of SSP in Gujarat attaining six per cent growth in agriculture. The project turns 50 on Monday, April 5.
